Rev. William NJ. Taylors volume of expo
sitions of the PARALLELS of our Saviour New
York: A. G. Armstrong & Co.; Portland
Loring, Short & Harmony comments on and
illustrates the lessons contained in the sto-
ries imagined by the great Teacher. The lib
eral spirit, the clear and appreciative quality
of DR.. Taylor's thought, and the force and
good taste of his eloquence, his freedom from
commonplace and equally from elaborate
mysticism, are notable in these discourses
The whole tone of the volume is that of prac-
tical connection of religion and daily af-
fairs; and readers of whatever denomina-
ton can enjoy and concur with these expo
sitions in which the highest beliefs and aspi-
rations are made as available for Monday as
for Sunday, for our nineteenth century as
for the first years of the Christian era.
